About

Daily, it toggles between growth (often 3x SPY/QQQ/Dow/Tech/Semis) and defense (T‑Bills, BTAL, inverse/volatility ETFs) using simple heat gauges (RSI), bond‑vs‑cash checks, and trend filters.
NutHow it works
It watches five indexes: SPY=S&P500, QQQ=Nasdaq‑100, DIA=Dow, XLK=Tech, SOXX=Semis; 3x versions: UPRO,TQQQ,UDOW,TECL,SOXL; hedges: VIXY/UVXY (vol), BTAL (anti‑beta), SH/SDS/PSQ (shorts); cash: BIL; bonds: BND. RSI is a 0‑100 “heat” gauge; >50 healthy, <30 washed‑out. When heat is healthy, it rides uptrends (often 3x) with safety brakes. When weak or too hot, it shifts to hedges/cash/bonds. Bond‑vs‑cash and 20/100/200‑day trend filters fine‑tune risk. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~49.6% annualized return vs SPY's ~21.2%, and Calmar ~2.09 vs ~1.13 - stronger risk-adjusted growth. Uses momentum + hedging to chase upside and protect downside, though drawdowns can be higher in some periods.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
